When there is plenty of wine,
sorrow and worry take wing
– Ovid 17AD, The Art of Love

Plenty of Wine – graphic version

In wine there is wisdom,
in beer there is strength,
in water there is bacteria.
– David Auerbach

Wine Wisdom Graphic

Pleasure for one hour, a bottle of wine

Pleasure for one year, a marriage

but pleasure for a lifetime, a garden.

Chinese Proverb

… what do you think? Do you get only an hour of pleasure from wine?

A Night at the Opera – classic Marx brothers film features Chianti in a basket-bottle! What do you think of the movie?

A Night at the Opera

Name that lyric! What song says “The sun went down in honey, and the moon came up in wine”?

Wine lyric quiz time! What song says ”

She never drinks the water, makes you order French Champagne”

- and isn’t French Champagne redundant?

What song says “It’s the black fly in your chardonnay”? And is that really so bad? Can’t you just fish it out?

What movie? Man: “How about a little Champagne before we go … it may not be cold enough.” Woman: “Over the rocks would be all right.”

Name this song!

“They drank up the wine, and they got to talking

they now had more important things to say.”

Name this song!

“Let’s open the wine /

And drink to the heart /

Which has a will of its own”

- artist and song title!
